Cm Cm(add b5) And on the day the wall came down Cm Cm(add b5) The ship of fools had finally run aground Fm/Ab Gsus4 G Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
CHORUS: F G/F F G/F F F/C C I dreamed you had left my side. No warmth not even pride remained-- F/C F G/F F G/F F And even though you needed me, it was clear that I could not F/C C C G/C G/B do a thing for you
